    Did you open a different bank account away from your overdraft one? Has all interest and fees now been stopped?

    How horrible! I do hope you complained about being physically stopped from leaving!

    Many on here swear by surveys for earning a little extra in the evenings although I would suggest if you do, keeping it to spend on yourself rather than overpaying the DMP even more. The odd train ticket to somewhere for a change of scene at the weekend could make the world of difference x

    Yes I opened two completely separate accounts, one for bills and DMP and one for work parking, food and any other cash as it helps me budget better.and all bills go on pay day or just after so no payments are missed. 

    I tried the surveys but most I wasn't what they wanted or you sign up but only get offered 20p surveys...I spent a week off and only got £7....😒 

    Interest has stopped... But they do conveniently forget and charge sometimes.. I have successfully had them reversed.  They're defaulting me because the payments won't pay off the cards in time...not that I've missed paying them or under paid.. honestly can't win really.
